The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD



Poor captive goose by J. Loomis


and a Flowering Plum, to show that it's almost Spring!

I'm having trouble posting photos in the right spots but you get the idea.


It was calm, overcast and about 41 degrees this morning, as we started our run or walk on the Caspar Logging Road. Really good weather for running, a bit nippy when walking. Jackson State Forest has spread more of the used asphalt grindings, going further up Road 500 from where they left off last year. This makes the surface absolutely perfect, as far as it goes. Hopefully, they'll be able to extend it even further before stopping this year.

Present this morning were: Toni, Nancy B., Rick, Megan, Rick S., Cindy, Jim, Gay, Mark, Jan, Marc, Fran, Charlene, John, Laurie, Bob, Johnny and Tom (18). I hope I didn't miss someone.

Afterwards, nine of us were joined by Brad for a really nice David's Restaurant breakfast.

We're supposed to have really nice weather all week long and I think the Fern Canyon Trail at Van Damme will be really nice, so,

NEXT SUNDAY, 2/26/12 @ 8:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, see "Our Routes" above.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
